Radio not working

The short story is I sent my chip to dp tuner last week while on vacation to have Jody update my programs. The ecu was out of the truck for about a week. I reinstalled everything today. Everything works fine except my radio won't turn on. Clock only comes on when headlights are on. Checked all the fuses all good except #32 which is a 5a. Manual says it's the radio start fuse. Fuse is fine not blown out, new one installed still no power on either side of the fuse. Where should I look now. 2002 super duty

If I were in your position and have verified fuses good with continuity tester, not just a visual inspection I would get in touch with DP and see if this has been a problem in the past. If so, they will likely have a solution for you already and if not, then you can start digging deeper.

looks good, it was just a thought. When my batteries would get really low my radio gauges would not work
